With hedgehog numbers having more than halved in the UK since just 2000, putting out this special biscuit-based hedgehog food in your garden could help the local population in your area. This chicken flavoured hedgehog food compliments the natural diet of a hedgehog, and not only is it nutrient, vitamin and mineral rich, but also aids the hedgehog’s dental health. Easy and clean to feed, this hedgehog food has been developed with the input of hedgehog charities.

As this is a dry food, it’s very important to also provide a low and shallow dish of clean water for hedgehogs to drink. This also applies to the winter months, as the milder conditions we now typically experience as a result of climate change, mean that hedgehogs very rarely hibernate for the whole winter period

My visiting hedgehogs love the food and empty 2 cat sized dishes every night. My last order was replied to with the message that there was none in stock but was on back order and would be sent asap. It arrived only about 7 days later. Definitely 5 stars for Vine House Farm.

We have eight hedgehogs. Five are hoglets with three adults and they all enjoy Vien House hedgehog food. This year we are on our third 13kg bag of food and this will take us through to December when the hoglets finally go into hibernation. There will be some left to begin the next season. The cats and the blackbirds also steal the left over food, and so five stars from them as well.

Few feed suppliers bother about hedgehog, so it's a relief to know this company who supply larger amounts at a reasonable price. Bird feed is on the pricey side though but there's more companies supplying this. I would certainly buy from Vine House Farm again.

Thoroughly recommend this food; the hedgehogs love it. Far better than the tinned food which is messy and attracts the local cats.

Visiting hedgehogs love this food. They rush to get to the dish first, and return every evening. I share the food with a neighbour, so buying the larger bag works out more economical. The free and speedy delivery is very welcome. The hedgehogs would vote it a very tasty and quality product.

The visiting hogs come for it every evening and there's never any left.I had to refill one day as first arrival ate it all! I am pleased to buy it in 6kg.which is cheaper,especially with free delivery. I know that with Vine House farm products the quality will be good. Just wish we lived near enough to go on a walk,see the birds and visit the shop.

We have a lot of hedgehogs and they all eat Vine House Hedgehog biscuits. The local rescue person also feeds his Vine House Farm so they are universally liked. The biscuits are good quality, nice and crunchy and are delivered promptly whenever we order. I've tried other makes but Vine House is the most preferred and cost effective.

Everything from Vine House Farm arrives promptly and is well packaged. My hogs love this food, as it is carefully formulated in conjunction with hedgehog rescues and takes into account the nutritional requirements of hedgehogs. There is no "rubbish", which is often the case with wildlife foods sold by some other companies.

It is very much liked by our hedgehogs. This winter they kept coming for it well into December. However, it is also liked by cats so I had to find a way of keeping the cats at bay while the hogs could enjoy their banquet.

Hedgehogs seem to love it. Mice will nibble a bit, but I have not seen rats or cats take it. Seagulls will go for it if exposed - keep it covered in an open-fronted container.

I have been using the special hedgehog food for several years and find it very satisfactory. The hedgehogs which come regularly to feed in my garden seem to thrive on it. It also keeps well if I have had too much left when the hedgehogs go into hibernation, it is still good to use in the following spring.

This food is very easy to use and the hedgehogs seem to like it because it disappears very quickly. The only drawback is that there is quite a lot of fine powder which the hedgehogs don't like.

More Information Frequently Asked Questions

Using our hedgehog food in your garden is one of the ways you can help reverse the trend of declining hedgehog numbers in the UK, which is now more important than ever as the population of this highly appealing mammal has dropped by more than 50% since 2000. Biscuit based, this hedgehog food is chicken flavoured and contains the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that hedgehogs need. Developed with input and advice from hedgehog charities, the biscuit texture of this clean and easy-to-feed food also helps the dental health of hedgehogs.

As this hedgehog food is dry, it’s really important to provide a low and shallow dish of clean water right next to where you put the food in your garden. Providing food and water for hedgehogs throughout the year is important and especially in urban areas where natural food is less available. Regarding the winter months, although in past decades hedgehogs would hibernate in very cold months, our relatively mild winters now mean this rarely happens for any great length of time. The issue for hedgehogs then becomes that natural food such as slugs and earthworms are harder to find in the winter, so this adds to the importance of providing food and water for them.

It’s a small and dry biscuit which has been developed with input from experts working in hedgehog charities. The hedgehog food contains the minerals, nutrients and vitamins that hedgehogs need, but as it’s a dry food it’s essential that clean water is provided in a shallow dish right next to where it’s put out in gardens.

Put the food into a low dish so hedgehogs can easily access it, then place a second low dish next to it which is filled with clean water.

Potentially, yes, with the chances of them doing so increased if there is always food and water available. Providing a suitable hedgehog house may also mean they stay in the garden.

Foods you should NOT put out for hedgehogs include milk, bread, raw meat, oats, raisins and citrus fruits.

Yes, and by doing so you encourage hedgehogs to regularly visit your garden. In addition, if one or more hedgehogs come to a garden expecting to find food and it then isn’t there, they’ve used up valuable energy on their journey. So feeding hedgehogs is something that, once started, needs to be continued in an unbroken way.

The first thing to ensure is that hedgehogs have access to your garden. If this isn’t easy for hedgehogs and from an obvious area they’d likely enter from - e.g. under a gate - then a really good option is to make a 13 x 13cm hole at the base of a fence to your neighbour’s garden - obviously having agreed that with them first! Indeed, some entire residential communities have taken such action on roads and housing estates across the country, with the benefit to hedgehogs being huge. Once access for hedgehogs has been achieved, then provide our hedgehog food and clean water right next to it. A wildlife friendly garden with plenty of rough and overgrown areas will also help, as this encourages natural food for hedgehogs to also feed on. Plus of course, a hedgehog house tucked into a sheltered corner of your garden can encourage them to stay and even breed.
